Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionAscend Elements (AE) is revolutionizing the production of lithium-ion battery materials by establishing a clean and sustainable supply chain using recycled feedstock. Its patented Hydro-to-CathodeTM technology directly synthesizes new cathode materials from spent lithium-ion cells more efficiently than traditional methods, resulting in reduced cost, improved performance, and lowered GHG emissions. The results are lower cost, better performance batteries with fewer discarded in landfill, a cleaner manufacturing process, and a truly sustainable closed-loop circular battery economy. Ascend Elements is taking the lithium-ion battery industry to a higher level.
We're hiring a Controls Engineer to join our team. In such position, the Controls Engineer shall work in the Automation team responsible for the overall process automation design and optimization of Ascend Elements manufacturing facilities which include handling, discharge, and disassembly of spent EV batteries, shredding of such batteries, and chemical processing of this shredded material into new battery cathode. The Advanced Manufacturing Engineering team is responsible for scaling our technology from demonstration plant scale to full production scale at multiple brown and green field sites in the US and Europe. In addition to process development, vendor selection, plant design, commissioning and installation, this group leads the technology scaling efforts as next generation technologies are proven in our R&D group.
This position will be based out of our Westborough Massachusetts Headquarters or potentially from our 1st plant in the Southeast of the US, Covington GA or Hopkinsville KY.
Job Responsibilities
Education: Bachelor's degree or technical diploma in Electrical, Process Controls, or Chemical Engineering with automation experience.
